“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ” Well they seem to be doing pretty well out of it in Cea! 19th May.

We were sorry to leave Cea (and Casa Manoso ) a compact and prosperous seeming place, compared to so many we have walked through. I should dedicate this next photo to my daughter Hannah, whose seedy loaf rivals anything I have eaten here.

Penny led the way, enjoying the sunny morning and good, underfoot conditions.

This grounds  and situation of this fine chapel reminded us of an English churchyard.

Along rustic lanes, we meandered onwards, pausing to photograph the amazing flowers on this cactus, situated by a small Paso.

With the weather making for perfect walking conditions, we made good time; Gorse, in the sunshine, comes into its own.

We got to  Castro Dozon, from where we were to be collected and taken to our night’s lodging. Time enough for the early afternoon ritual of beer and bocadillo. Some viewpoints, upto this stage.

We were swiftly driven to Alojamiento Rural Pazos – Pazos is a traditional, Galician stone house – and were impressed by the both the house and gardens. A ” rural escapada “, where we relaxed and Penny used the nearby lavadero to get her washing done.

We were driven to nearby restaurant, for dinner and were spoilt by the attentiveness of the cook and staff. We chose some Tapas and especially enjoyed the Anguilas – Elvers – baby eels.
Today’s track has to be by Bread – ” Everything I Own ”
